You should get about an inch of lift from 4 door front springs.  BRD HNTR just put a set in, you can see the difference in size on his post in the DIY section.  :)

Hey PPLTRAK......  I would be interested in your springs. Are they used or new? How much of a lift would they give me. I'm located in San Diego, shipping? Give me a shout. JB

I have 4 door springs up front (on my 2 door), and have raised the outside of my spring pad 1" (will be posting soon), which gives me 11" clearance at the frame.  When I had spacers giving me 12" clearance at the frame I toasted my CV's.  Stock is listed as 7.9" (I did not measure before starting), so I am guessing that I got around 2" with the springs, and 1" with the spring pad mod.  I am running 30 9:50"s for tires.

I run 4 door 3 inch lift springs in mine and I get about a 1/2 to 1 inch added lift in mine.  Love the way it wheels, rides, and drives down the street.  But I am selling the lift due to money troubles... so that kinda sucks... lol
